Hola!

I spent twelve hours at ANU today. That's more time than I'd spend on UOW campus in a week. (I know I'm prone to hyperbole but I do mean that literally.)


The first debate was heaps of fun! By the third I was just hungry and tired and cold. We were running way behind time after spending an hour in a lecture theatre waiting for some computer thing to be sorted out. I did get to see my friend Adela (hello if you're reading) debate which was fun.

After our long day of debates we went to a party on one of the rooftops with burritos and punch. It was low key but fun, but alas I didn't take any pictures. If you've ever seen Mexican food, night skies and those red plastic cups from American movies then you can basically envision the whole thing anyway.


There's no outfit snap either but it was the same as yesterday only my jumper was grey. I've established a bit of a look, because there's really only one ensemble that's warm enough for me.


I don't think I have it in me to get through another day like this one. But tomorrow night is the fancy championship dinner!

World's Largest Roundabout

Hello from The Nation's Capital! I'm here for Easters 2012, an intervarsity debating competition, and so far it's rad.


I'm here with James and nine other people from uni, including Ryan (hello if you're reading!).


The university has put us all up at the Clifton Suites.





James and I are sharing an apartment with some nice people from Bond.





We have a double room with an ensuite, which is pretty snazzy.





It was super freezing yesterday so I wore jeans, merino jumper, boots and a coat, plus obviously some layers underneath. I was still pretty cold.





Last night there was a social event organised at The Hellenic Club. When we got there all the tables were full, but the line of students was huge and there was a 90 minute wait for food.





So the UOW contingent jumped ship and went to some place called London. Guys, it was awesome! And thrifty! Their menu is basically fifty burgers and beer.


I had a Beef Swiss burger - $13 - and it was SO GOOD. At first they lost my order so they gave me a FREE cider, but I only waited a few more minutes for the food anyway. Winning! If you're ever in Canberra you should go there.





Today I'm at ANU adjudicating some debates, pretty exciting. Tonight there is a roof top party feat. punch, can't wait!
